Vauxhall owners are happy bunches when it comes to their purchases, according to the latest J.D. Power survey. Vauxhall was named the fourth overall brand regarding vehicle dependability, outperforming BMW, Audi and Jaguar.

Vauxhall moves up five places from 2015, where it ranked ninth, to fourth place, and the Vauxhall Insignia topped its class altogether for dependability. Insignia recorded just 16 problems per 100 vehicles; Vauxhall in total recorded an average 90 problems per 100 vehicles, under pacing the average of 113 problems.

“It is brilliant to see that our cars are performing well for durability after they have left the showroom,” said Rory Harvey, Vauxhall’s Chairman and Managing Director. “Providing high-quality, reliable vehicles is a priority of ours, and to see models across the range achieve these results and outperform their premium rivals is great.”

GM has turned the quality corner, and now it’s on par with the Japanese “quality” leaders. Vauxhall and Opel will continue to grow at the expense of VW, PSA and, long term, Ford. A 9% share in Europe isn’t unrealistic.
